Warsaw, Feb. 3. JOHANN CHOMSKI, thirty-year-old American of Polish birth, was standing with his veiled bride before the altar of a church in Warsaw this afternoon when the syren of a police car was' heard outside.
Just as the priest was about to place the rings on the bride's and bridegroom's fingers there was a commotion at the door, and five police officers rushed into the church shouting "In the name of the law stop the ceremony!" The priest, startled, dropped the rings. The police officers surrounded Chomski and took him off to police headquarters.
They allege that he is a triple bigamist.
